The Christians of Hiyamizu, who faced oppression during the period of the government's crackdown on Christianity known as "Goto kuzure", fled from here and never returned. Most of the current residents of Hiyamizu moved here from surrounding villages, Hirado, and the lower Goto Islands after the Christian oppression ended. In 1907, the current church was finally constructed. Yosuke Tetsukawa, who hailed from the nearby district of Maruo, played a central role in its construction and design, and it was the first time he had ever worked on a church.



<Note>
Churches are very important places of prayer for their followers. When observing churches, please follow proper etiquette such that everyone can feel comfortable in the churches. A guide for church etiquette can be found here.
